Re: AIG sells $39.3 billion in assets to NY Fed's fund

A word of advice, remove the "libertarian' tag from your bio, you are not intelligent enough to even be considered for the party.

You ought to be quite careful about throwing stones when your proverbial house of intellect is made of glass.

Regardless, you have failed on all accounts here, and your fear mongering only further illustrates your lack of knowledge in regards to the political economy.

It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion."Wealth of Nations," Book V, Chapter II, Part II, Article I, pg.911

Re: AIG sells $39.3 billion in assets to NY Fed's fund

the financial crisis started when paulson decided to let lehman evaporate.

You are quite correct. That started to put pressure on a serious run on our financial system (and all international integrated systems for that matter).

If you have nothing productive to say, i'd advise you move along as you are dragging your own thread in the dirt....

Unless you are particularly ignorant in regards to political economy
